    Description

    AI Testing and Refinement

    No tech skills required.

    We made an archive for all people's ideas for all problems, then we added an AI to make it easy to use. However there's a lot of ways this could 'misbehave' and we need someone to conduct tests on it and help us find ways to improve it. Testing requires no previous experience or training. We have a list of expected use-case scenarios and you run through them and evaluate how well our AI assistant was able to assist you.

    It uses a knowledge-base (a document) we can alter to improve its performance, and there's a lot of stuff in the world people have ideas for that we might want to add notes in reference to, to improve the AI's ability to help users.

    If you also have experience in software development that's great, this would be a golden chance to learn AI at your own pace and add something meaningful to your resume. Just let us know that's what you're interested in, run Needpedia locally using docker, integrate Openrouter, and get creative. Now you have a copy of our code you can use as a sandbox for innovation, and as a part of your development portfolio.

    We absolutely can offer community service hours and a bit of structure if you'd like. But even if all you can do is write there's still a ton of useful testing you could help us do. Let us know if you have any questions.
